Resumo: This work concerns to the so called Escola Tropicalista Baiana founded in the second half of the 19th century in the province of Bahia by a group of physicians and established medicine rivals at that time. We pointed out the complex epidemics and wars events and political-economical and scientific changes advanced by the Imperial government, as well as power debates between the new founded Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia and Santa Casa da Misericórdia , where sciences are developed in the Brazilian Imperial period. In this conflicting context, Escola Tropicalista Baiana arises as a scientific community bringing forth novel ideas which are related to local concerns at that time by new research and teaching methods which help to identify unknown diseases and to find new ways of healing illness that distress free men and slaves. These new scientific findings which are published and divulged by this scientific community journal, Gazeta Médica da Bahia, put Brazilian medicine into a new direction giving it an abroad acknowledgment. Besides they help reformulating scientific model as it has accepted since then in Brazil calling into question European knowledge on health problems in Brazil, and also the official medicine teaching represented by the Faculdades de Medicina da Bahia and Rio de Janeiro and by the Academia science Medicina Imperial
