Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Are you doing a merge of the KR and PR files? The KR file includes children who have died (b5=0) and other children who have survived but are not living in the same household as the mother (b16 is "0" or "."). These cases would not match with the PR file and would not have a value of hv005. To be in both files, a child would have _merge=3.

Taking those possibilities into account, do you still have cases that are missing hv005?
