Many words could be used to describe the woman. Mary Mallon (1869-1938) was a carrier of typhoid fever in New York state, mostly New York City and Long Island. Although ambiguously diagnosed by early epidemiology, she persisted in human contact as a cook until forcibly quarantined in 1915.
Medically, she was a "healthy carrier" of a potentially fatal disease. She could be referred to as "self-delusional" because she denied infecting others with the disease she carried. She could be described as a "pariah", because the notoriety surrounding her discovery made her a shunned and feared outcast.
