Thanks for the answers, everybody.

the occurrence (event) of the disease is controversial

suggestion only (I´m not from the health field, slight knowledge over it). THIS IS ONLY A LITERAL TRANSLATION

A Fernanda quis certamente perguntar qual a melhor tradução para inglês, certo?
A frase por si só já está em português... seja do Brasil, seja de Portugal...

Depende do contexto.
Se a doença é tema ou objecto para debate, discussão, assunto, pode optar por "a matter of debate".
Se a doença origina ou coloca dúvidas, pode optar por "a matter of controversy".
Não creio que o facto de a palavra ser muito literal "penalize" a frase. A palavra existe em inglês. Era pior se traduzisse algum termo/palavra muito técnico literalmente. É a minha opinião.
Note from asker:
Sorry, I messed up. It was meant to be translated from Portuguese to English. The appearance of the disease is a matter of debate, perhaps? "Controversy" just seems to be too literal. (I'm a amateur and got stuck on this one)
