Would serial IgG to Varicella show an anamnestic response?

Subject: Possible shingles
I have a 56 year old patient who has pain and very sensitive skin in the T6
right dermatome. She has had symptoms now for 10 days with no change.
There is not a blemish in the overlying skin.
She was diagnosed with MS 3 years ago.
She had exactly the same symptons in the same place 10 years ago without any
rash appearing.
Has any one seen shingles without a rash?
There is a condition called sine herpetica which claims to be so.
