Answers:
It was not officially stated in the OVA!. I'm just not sure if the writers revealed it much later on!. The most popular belief is that it's tuberculosis, but there are also some who believe it's leprosy because of the strange spots!. Others also argue it's syphilis!.

"Kenshin eventually becomes ravaged by an unknown disease!. " -wikipedia
"Kenshin eventually becomes ravaged by an unknown disease that is much like tuberculosis (the writers have admitted there is no medical explanation for his condition)!. To share his pain, Kaoru convinces Kenshin to share his disease with her through sexual intercourse!."

"Leprosy is not highly infectious, as approximately 95% of people are immune and sufferers are no longer infectious after only a couple of days on treatment!. They would not have spread leprosy through a community; whereas syphilis, which has similar symptoms, is more contagious!."
-wikipedia
(could explain why Kaoru got infected, especially considering 'how' she got infected)
