What would a Chicken pox titer show if you were CURRENTLy infected with chicken pox?

My daughter was exposed on Feb 11th, titers taken on Feb 19th. If she were already infected and not showing signs of chicken pox yet, what would the titer show? Would it be elevated because the virus is already in her body and she is fighting it, or not show up at all?

1. The titre would show the virus if it was in her system..
2. 8 days isn't that long for an antibody response. It should be low.
