red measles
Highly contagious childhood illness
Red measles is another name for measles proper—the highly contagious viral disease marked by fever, cough, and a spreading red rash.
The qualifier distinguishes it from German measles (rubella), a milder illness caused by a different virus.
The outbreak was red measles, not the less serious German kind.
