Abstract
Onychomycosis is a common disease, which is estimated to affect approx imately 3% of the UK population. It is often viewed as being relativel y trivial in nature; however, there has been little research to evalua te how this condition affects patients' physical and psychological wel lbeing. The aim of this study was to assess the possible effect of ony chomycosis on different aspects of patients' quality of life.
