Omaha Daily Bee, April 1, 1916, Page 2:
A supposed case of mumps, which has developed into an acute case of infection and blood poisoning, contracted while she was engaged in her duties as nurse, has brought Miss Carmen Betz, 22 years of age, former Bellevue college student, a nurse at the South Omaha hospital, to the point of death. Her father, Dr. W. H. Betz, who is attending her, last night had little hope for her recovery.
Miss Betz and Miss Verna Pichter, another nurse at the hospital, were taken ill last Monday with what appeared to be mumps and were immediately isolated. Glandular swellings appeared about Miss Michter's neck. No swellings, however, appeared on Miss Betz's neck. The case was later diagnosed as diphtheria, but when Dr. Betz visited his daughter Thursday evening he found no swellings or any other indication of diphtheria. He took his daughter to his home in Bellevue and put her under the care of a nurse. Miss Betz remained unconscious all Thursday night.
Miss M. Dean, head nurse at the hospital, asserts that no infectious cases are permitted at the institution and that it is a mystery to her how Miss Betz contracted the infection. Miss Betz has been on night duty for some time.
