We aimed to estimate the cost of care for patients with invasive fungal disease (IFD) in England. We analysed prospectively collected data from adult haematology patients in a large hospital in London. We found that the attributable cost of managing IFD was greater than £50,000 per case, with the inpatient stay accounting for 3/4 of costs. Costs for inpatient stay far outstrip the cost of antifungal drugs.
