MDS WITH EXCESS BLASTS (MDS-EB)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MDS-EB exhibits a low number of one or more types of blood cells<\/strong> in the bloodstream that also look abnormal in the bone marrow with an increased number of blast (immature) cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

MDS-EB1:<\/strong> less than 5% of cells in the bloodstream are blasts. In the bone marrow, 5-9% of cells are blast cells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

MDS-EB2:<\/strong> 5-19% of cells in the bloodstream are blast cells and 10-19% of cells in the bone marrow are blast cells.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\r\n
