Review highlights unique challenges of diagnosing and treating onychomycosis in immunocompromised and elderly populations, suggesting tailored approaches.

Key Points

Untreated onychomycosis may cause serious complications, especially in immunocompromised individuals and the elderly.
Accurate diagnosis through mycological confirmation is essential to distinguish onychomycosis from other nail disorders.
Treatment must be individualized, considering risk profiles, efficacy, safety, and drug interactions related to comorbidities.
Systemic antifungals are standard for moderate-to-severe onychomycosis but may be limited by renal impairment and polypharmacy.
