The majority of cases affected residents of the ?España? quarter and its neighborhood. Symptoms, the thyroid scintigram and the laboratory analysis pointed to a diagnosis of silent thyroiditis, iodine ingestion, or thyroid hormones ingestion. A descriptive of 59 cases study was carried out. The evolution in time had the shape of a single-source epidemic curve, with both sexes equally affected. The etiologic hypothesis is the presence of thyroids or thyroid hormones in the meat consumed by the patients. En el período agosto 2003 a abril 2004 se produjo en la ciudad de Minas del departamento de Lavalleja, un brote epidémico de tirotoxicosis, observándose la gran mayoría de los casos en vecinos del Barrio España y barrios cercanos. El cuadro clínico, el centellograma tiroideo, los exámenes de laboratorio orientaban al diagnóstico de tiroiditis silente, ingesta de yodo o de hormonas tiroideas. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo obteniéndose información de 59 casos. La evolución en el tiempo tiene forma de curva epidémica a fuente única, afectándose por igual ambos sexos. Se plantea como hipótesis etiológica el aporte de tiroides uhormonatiroidea en la carne que consumieron los casos. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
