I wonder if she might have come down with the ZB (zombie bug) after being so face to face with her dead mom. Nasty walker hissing and biting so close to her face while she's screaming her head off...

Maybe we'll see some kind of varying grades of zombification. Get bit, and a large dose of the ZB turns you into a full-blown zombie. Get hissed at (or pick up a severed zombie arm) and you still turn into a zombie, but since you were exposed to a smaller dose of ZB, you are able to retain some higher brain functions making you an 'intelligent' zombie.
There was a scene form the first season that's been stuck in the back of my mind ever since it aired. When Rick (and Glen, I think) are in the lobby of the building in downtown Atlanta, the zombies were outside banging against the metal gate. At one point, one of the zombies picked up a cinder block and threw it at the gate. Kind of implies that some zombies are capable of thought at some level.
