Onychomycosis: Old and New
Tracey Vlahovic
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Your manuscript is a comprehensive review of onychomycosis. The descriptions of the clinical subtypes of onychomycosis, the organisms involved, and laboratory diagnostic strategies are excellent. The discussion of potential future treatments currently being studied for onychomycosis is enlightening.
The formatting of Table 1 is challenging to follow due to the abnormal alignment of the text, and it would be easier to read if the columns were justified correctly.

Reviewer 2 Report
Article Type: Review Article
O objetivo do manuscrito foi avaliar os tratamentos orais da onicomicose. Na minha opinião o manuscrito precisa de algumas alterações para publicação.
1) Add references to tables.
2) The focus of the work is oral treatment, however, the authors also addressed topical treatment and other therapeutic options. I suggest changing the title or adjusting the manuscript, as the authors addressed onychomycosis very comprehensively, which is commonly observed in other publications.
3) I suggest that the author addresses more about the new therapeutic options, topic: “Novel Onychomycosis Therapies”, as it is the differential of the work.
4) Add the methodology. What were the criteria used to select the articles?

Excellent, thorough, and timely review--I am glad you added in a paragraph regarding terbinafine resistance and that you reviewed the newer oral antifungal azoles.
