Severe / moderate / normal by age group (WHO 2008 HIV paediatric guideline, as reproduced by FANTA Ethiopia). Pure calculation, no table. Moderate includes both end values. For 6-59 months these differ from the WHO/UNICEF 115 / 125 mm community screening cut-offs. Screening aid only, not a diagnosis.
