Purpose review

This comprehensive review aims to clarify the association between the fundamentals of onychomycosis in the elderly, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and safe treatment options.

Recent findings

A meticulous search of literature was conducted using PubMed, Google scholar, and Springer link databases. We were able to portray the association between advanced age, age-related nail manifestations, as well as, the correlation in the increase in onychomycosis prevalence, and therapeutic response, adverse events and special considerations in elderly patients.

Summary

In conclusion, this review focuses on disease’s etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, therapeutic strategies, and especially drug-to-drug interactions, adverse events in elderly patients with onychomycosis.
