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

In Stata (.dta) DHS files, the code "." means "not applicable". The variable was omitted for this case, either because of subsampling or because of a skip pattern in the questionnaire. What I believe you are thinking of as "missing" cases would generally have a code such as "9".
