This study aimed to assess the impact of onychomycosis on QoL. Methods: QoL was evaluated using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopy and culture. Clinical features were recorded. Results: Forty patients were included (mean age 52.6 years; 70% female). Trichophyton species were found in 62.5%, Candida in 32.5%, and both in 5%. The mean DLQI was 6.1, indicating moderate impact. Women had higher scores than men (6.68 vs. 4.75; p = 0.03). Total nail involvement and combined fingernail\/toenail infection were linked to greater QoL impairment (p &lt; 0.05). The \u201csymptoms and feelings\u201d domain was higher in women (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Onychomycosis moderately impairs QoL, especially in women and patients with extensive nail involvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000551412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,6]],"date-time":"2026-03-06T17:01:00Z","timestamp":1772816460000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of Onychomycosis on Quality of Life: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Dermatology Life Quality Index"],"prefix":"10.1159","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9769-8929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dalel","family":"Kemicha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maha","family":"Lahouel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sana","family":"Mokni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Najet","family":"Ghariani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Denguezli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2000.104794"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2004.00851.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2020.05.143"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1473-2165.2006.00246.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03362.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2006.02004.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0190-9622(98)70199-9"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000504944"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0378-6323.154796"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00019053-200220010-00003"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0190-9622(99)70047-2"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/a:1026429012353"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature12171"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000485632"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1994.tb06087.x"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2013.2048"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09546630600965004"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7525-4-50"}],"container-title":["Skin Appendage Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000551412","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,6]],"date-time":"2026-05-06T16:00:58Z","timestamp":1778083258000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000551412"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,6]]},"references-count":18,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000551412","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2296-9195","2296-9160"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-9195","type":"print"},{"value":"2296-9160","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,6]]}}}
