		In the illustrated embodiment the pallor signal is high pass filtered at approximately 0.5 Hz by the first operational amplifier, U9A, by selecting the appropriate resistors R52 and R53 and the appropriate capacitors C22 and C23.

		Presence/absence of pallor were cross-tabulated with the measured Hb values to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of pallor for prediction of anemia.
		Pallor and pica taken together, however, could identify higher number of anemic children with sensitivity and specificity of 48.9 and 68.1%, respectively.
		In conclusion, pallor of the conjunctiva was 28% sensitive and 87% specific (with high predictive value) in distinguishing children with anemia (Hb <11.0 g/dl) and 49% sensitive and 79% specific in distinguishing severe anemia (Hb < 7.0 g/dl).

	Palmar Pallor as an Indicator for Anthelminthic Treatment Among Ill Children Aged 2-4 Years -- Western Kenya, 1998
		This report summarizes an investigation of the use of palmar pallor as an indication for anthelminthic treatment among ill children aged 2-4 years seen at first-level health-care facilities in rural western Kenya; the investigation found that palmar pallor was associated with anemia but not with intestinal helminth infection.
		Palmar pallor was associated with anemia (prevalence ratio [PR]=2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.8-2.3); however, no association was found between palmar pallor and helminth infection (Table 1).
		The lack of association between palmar pallor and helminth infection in Bungoma District may be the result of the light intensity of hookworm infections; all but one hookworm infection was considered light.

		In addition to pallor and piloerection, which were significantly increased in most groups administered AZT and TMP/SMX, significant occurrences of labored breathing, decreased motor activity, and emaciation were noted.
		As discussed earlier, the apparent difference in toxicity for the female-A mice and female-B mice results from a higher total dosage administered to the female-A mice late in gestation due to increased maternal weights and the fact that female-A mice were dosed for a longer period of time.
