   • 2000, Helmut Löffler, Johann Rastetter, Atlas of Clinical Hematology, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN:

     The bone marrow is hypercellular with variable hyperplasia of erythropoiesis or granulocytopoiesis. Dyserythropoiesis, dysgranulocytopoiesis, and/or dysmegakaryocytopoiesis is invariably present. Ringed sideroblasts may be found.
