Disease or illness (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malady

I believe this is a double definition.

'disease' is the first definition.
(malady is a kind of health problem)

'illness' is the second definition.
(malady is a kind of health problem)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for malady that I've seen before include "Sickness, ailment" , "Sickness or disease" , "Disease or disorder" , "Complaint" , "hay fever, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
