Sarah L. Pett is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Darlinghurst, NSW, working from Level 2, 376 Victoria Street. She looks after people who have infections that can be hard to manage, or infections that need a careful plan over time.
Her work often includes care for blood-borne viruses and long-term infections. This can involve things like HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, as well as hepatitis more broadly. At times, she also helps with complex issues that come up alongside these illnesses, where keeping symptoms controlled matters for day-to-day life.
Sarah also deals with common and more serious breathing infections. That includes respiratory illnesses such as flu and pneumonia, and it can include COVID-19 and SARS when patients need specialist help. Meningitis is another area she sees, including cryptocription-related meningitis and other serious infections that affect the brain and nerves.
Some cases can be fungal or related to immune health, so you might see cryptoccoccosis mentioned. She also supports people with infections linked to travel or exposure risks, such as Chagas disease. When infections cause complications, she looks at the whole picture, not just one test result.
Over time, Sarah has built experience working through difficult infections and the follow-up that comes with them. That might mean helping people understand results, starting the right treatment, and checking progress with repeat reviews. Many cases also involve managing side effects and making sure treatment is practical with real life.
Education details aren’t listed here, but the focus stays on safe, clear care and good communication. She works with other health professionals to coordinate treatment plans, especially when a person’s situation involves more than one condition at once.
Research and clinical trials aren’t described in detail here, but she may be involved in trial work in infectious diseases when appropriate pathways are available through the wider health system.
If you’re dealing with an infection that hasn’t settled as expected, or it’s affecting your health in a bigger way, Sarah’s specialty care can help bring things back into focus.
