Innate Immunity is Not Effective Against Fungus Infections

Question

Innate immunity is not effective against fungus infections.

Accepted Answer

Innate immunity does provide some level of protection against fungal infections, primarily through physical barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes, as well as through the actions of immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. However, in some cases, particularly when the fungus is able to evade or suppress the immune response, innate immunity may not be fully effective in controlling the infection.
