Historical definition
Icteritia rubea is erysipelas.
Meaning
The dictionary provides an identification without symptoms, causes or treatment. The modernised spelling makes the supplied term legible but does not turn the short gloss into a diagnostic description.
Use in the book
Rosea gives the same erysipelas identification under another headword. Gutta rosacea, despite a resemblance in wording, is separately described as a facial redness through a comparison with another condition. The edition keeps the direct synonym pair distinct from that differently framed description.
