title: The impact of onychomycosis on quality of life.
abstract: Onychomycosis is a common disease, which is estimated to affect approximately 3% of the UK population. It is often viewed as being relatively trivial in nature; however, there has been little research to evaluate how this condition affects patients' physical and psychological well-being. The aim of this study was to assess the possible effect of onychomycosis on different aspects of patients' quality of life.
