But there is not a single reference to this condition in a Medline search.
How do you it is shingles? Has anyone gone in and biopsied nerve endings to
look for virus?

I do recognise a large (make that very large!) number of these cases (zoster
sine herpetica) and they are very well described in the medical literature.
For some reason there is still a general presumption in both primary and
secondary care that you cannot have "shingles" without vesicles.
