In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if oral amoxicillin has comparable therapeutic response than penicillin G benzathine for the treatment of acquired pediatric syphilis. It will also learn about the adverse events and biomarkers of therapeutic response associated with oral amoxicillin. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does comparable therapeutic response oral amoxicillin to penicillin G benzathine in the treatment of acquired pediatric syphilis? * Does adequate serologic response to treatment participants with syphilis when taking oral amoxicillin? Researchers will compare oral amoxicillin to intramuscular procaine benzathine penicillin to see if oral amoxicillin works similar to treat acquired pediatric syphilis. Participants will: * Take 40-50mg/kg oral amoxicillin every day for 14 to 21 days or an intramuscular procaine benzathine penicillin injection at a dose
