Dr. Sarah Katzew

Sarah Katzew is a clinical researcher focused on the intersection of HIV and cerebrovascular disease, with particular attention to stroke mechanisms in people living with HIV. Her work is situated within the South African clinical context, contributing to a deeper understanding of neurological complications in high HIV-burden settings.

Her research explores the relationship between antiretroviral therapy initiation and the onset of stroke, highlighting the potential role of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome in the absence of opportunistic infections. This work advances discussion on inflammatory pathways, timing of treatment, and vascular risk in HIV care, offering clinically relevant insights for early management.

Based on the currently available publication, her scholarship demonstrates strength in clinical investigation and translational relevance, addressing complex interactions between infectious disease, immunology, and neurology. As further studies emerge, her contributions are likely to shape evolving strategies for stroke prevention and care in HIV-positive populations.
