This study compares two types of intravenous catheters (long and short) placed with ultrasound guidance in newborns being treated for congenital syphilis with antibiotics. The goal is to see which type works better and causes fewer complications during the 10-day treatment course.
This trial tests a rapid point-of-care test for syphilis in mothers and their newborns. It aims to find out if this test can help diagnose and treat syphilis faster, which could improve health outcomes for both mother and baby.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic (penicillin) during pregnancy can prevent syphilis infection in women who are at higher risk. If you are pregnant and have certain risk factors, this trial may help keep you and your baby safe from syphilis.
This study looks at two antibiotics given during pregnancy: ceftriaxone (given as a shot or IV) for infections other than syphilis, and benzathine penicillin G (given as a shot) for syphilis. The goal is to learn more about how these medicines affect pregnant women and their babies.
