I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'random inspection to see who has measles?' is the definition.
'spot check' can be an answer for 'random inspection' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'random inspection to see' is the wordplay.
'random inspection' becomes 'check' (check is a kind of inspection. I am not sure about the 'random' bit.).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'see' becomes 'spot' (to spot is to notice or catch sight of).
'check' after 'spot' is 'SPOT-CHECK'.
