Scarlatina, an infectious disease (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scarlet fever

I believe this is a double definition.

'scarlatina' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'an infectious disease' is the second definition.
(I know that scarlet fever is a Infectious disease)

(Other definitions for scarlet fever that I've seen before include "complaint" , "Infectious disease producing rash" , "Disease causing rash" , "Infectious disease of children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
