Many thanks to Roland Steiner and Lubomír Ondračka for pointing out that Böhtlingk's later Sanskrit-Wörterbuch in kürzerer Fassung in fact gives 'Brandwunde' as the meaning of agnidāha, rather than the name of a disease. This was how I had first understood the word, before I happened upon the MW entry.
