Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Megaloblastic anemia typically presents with a hypercellular bone marrow with a myeloid-to-erythroid (M:E) ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 due to ineffective erythropoiesis. The bone marrow also shows nuclear cytoplasmic asynchrony and giant bands and metas. Therefore, a myeloid-to-erythroid (M:E) ratio of 10:1 would be unexpected in megaloblastic anemia.
