Highly contagious viral disease characterised by a rash of small red spots (7)

I believe the answer is:

measles

(Other definitions for measles that I've seen before include "Childhood viral disease" , "Ailment" , "Children's disease with red spots" , "Contagious disease in children" , "Viral disease with rash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
