[Effectiveness of amoxicillin as a potent antiluetic in the treatment of syphilis (author's transl)].
A daily dose of 1.0 approximately 1.5 g of amoxicillin,  a synthetic penicillin, was tried as an antiluetic in 9 cases of syphilis. Oral administration for 4 weeks makes up one course of treatment. One of the patients was given two courses of treatment. Amoxicillin showed effect in 6 patients out of 9 (66.7%). Constipation and diarrhoea were observed in two cases and one case as side effects, and they were controlled easily. Amoxicillin could be a very effective and safe antiluetic.
