contents Simple bounds are obtained for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-γt}t^νI_ν(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, $x>0$, $ν>-1/2$, $0\leqγ<1$, together with a natural generalisation of this integral. In particular, we obtain an upper bound that holds for all $x>0$, $ν>-1/2$, $0\leqγ<1$, is of the correct asymptotic order as $x\rightarrow0$ and $x\rightarrow\infty$, and possesses a constant factor that is optimal for $ν\geq0$ and close to optimal for $ν>-1/2$. We complement this upper bound with several other upper and lower bounds that are tight as $x\rightarrow0$ or as $x\rightarrow\infty$, and apply our results to derive sharper bounds for some expressions that appear in Stein's method for variance-gamma approximation.
