When did Beth got sick in Little Women?

Answer 1

Beth contracted scarlet fever while charitably nursing the Hummel children, whose impoverished and widowed mother was forced to work to support them. When the youngest Hummel, an infant, died in Beth's arms, a physician was finally sent for, and Beth was advised to go home and prepare for the possible illness. She had a protracted bout of fever, indeed, and nearly died. She never fully recovered her health, and by the age of nineteen was weakened to the point of death, although the original bout of scarlet fever occurred when she was approximately fourteen years old.

Miss Alcott, the author of "Little Women" never names a specific cause of death, only noting that Beth's scarlet fever left her diminished in strength and hope for a long life. No further medical intervention or diagnosis occurs, Beth is simply allowed to waste away as an inevitability.

Answer 2

Yes.

Beth dies after her health is weakened by scarlet fever earlier in the book, though the death is not a death of this fever, rather it is due to complications in her health well after having recovered from the fever.
