Description

Louise Baucher and co-authors describe severe infections in patients taking ibrutinib for blood cancers. The drug is now standard care for several lymphoid diseases, and it calms the immune system in broad ways beyond its main target. That breadth can open the door to harsh and unusual infections.

Their 2023 study gathers cases from ten French intensive care units over six years. Patients had been on the drug for months before illness struck. Fungal infections made up a large share of the severe cases, led by invasive aspergillosis, with pneumocystis pneumonia next. The multicenter cohort sets out the features and outcomes of these crises, data meant to sharpen watchfulness in clinics that use the drug.
