It could be a number of things, did she have any drug allergies? Did she have a bacterial infection? Did she have a viral infection? Was she allergic to bees and recently stung? It could be a number of things and there is no way to tell for sure with this limited amount of information....I'm sorry.
I agree with the responder below. However, there is no way to know for sure. GOOD THINKING!!!!

My best guess would be anaphylactic shock due to a previously undiagnosed latex allergy. If she put a latex glove on her hand, she could develop the symptoms you described within the time frame. However, this is just a guess, and I can't say for sure.
