Abstract : This retrospective study analyzes the seroprevalence of infectious markers (HIV, HCV, HBV, and syphilis) in blood donors at the Moulay El Hassan Military Hospital Blood Transfusion Center in Guelmim over a 4-year period (December 2020 - November 2024). 3884 donations were analyzed, revealing a prevalence of 0.28% for HBsAg, 3.07% for total anti-HBc antibodies, 0.21% for HCV antibodies, 0.03% for HIV, and 0.62% for syphilis. These results are compared to data from other studies conducted in Morocco and other regions, highlighting trends and challenges in transfusion safety.

Keywords : Seroprevalence, Infectious Markers, Blood Donors, Transfusion Safety.
