Bone Marrow Results Question

Hello All,

Hoping someone can help me with this question:

In 2010, I was diagnosed with MDS (RAEB-2) with 19-20% blasts. Upon presentation, my bone marrow was characterized as hypercellular (approx. 61% cellularity). In 2013, a repeat bone marrow biopsy classified the bone marrow as normocellular (approx. 40% cellularity) with 25% blasts. While a bone marrow biopsy, in 2014, categorized the marrow as hypo cellular (approx 29% cellularity) with 40-50% blasts. What would cause an initially hyper cellular bone marrow to become hypo cellular? If relevant, the 2014 bone marrow biopsy was conducted during an active infection.

Thanks!
