Abstract

Abstract Ibrutinib is an irreversible inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase approved for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. There is growing concern about the risk of opportunistic infections following ibrutinib therapy. Herein, we describe the first case of Mycobacterium chelonae skin and soft tissue infection in a patient receiving ibrutinib and recount the challenges in treating this infection.
