We analyzed administrative data to determine the one-year incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFI) in patients initiating small molecule kinase inhibitor (SMKI) therapy. IFI incidence by SMKI ranged from 0.0 to 10.6%, with patients on midostaurin having the highest incidence. Thirty-eight (3.0%) of 1286 patients on ibrutinib developed an IFI.
