{Abstract}: Clostridium difficile infection is the most common cause of health care-associated diarrhoea, and its incidence increases with age. Clinical challenges, risk of resistance to treatment, risk of recurrence, and treatment responses are different in elderly. The aim of this review is to discuss the updated epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of C. difficile infection in elderly with the available data.
