Epidemic or outbreak, depending on how many people or how big of a geographical area is involved. If an entire continent or the entire world is involved it can be called a pandemic. Other synonyms could be: contagion, plague, or scourge.

Another term that may apply to the definition of "a deadly disease that spreads rapidly" in an individual, is metastatic, usually referring to spreading cancerous diseases.
