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.
