This could have been a case of polymedication, but I doubt it since it is an 82-year-old woman. I'm not sure if they are antibiotics, but benzodiazepines and anticholinergic drugs can cause amnesia. Or, it is a possibility her primary care doctor gave her the wrong dosage of the antibiotics, causing side effects, one of them possibly being amnesia.

If your innate defenses, like barriers and inflammation, fail to stop infection, you are left completely unguarded against disea
stira [4]

False, the body has its adaptive defenses.

Innate defense is the first line of protection against all diseases and infections, but adaptive immunity also has the power to fight off pathogens and infections brought on by external objects.

Therefore, it is not accurate to say that our body would be totally unprotected since adaptive immunity will also manifest itself to get rid of the disease-causing substance. This is a false assertion, then.

The correct answer is that adaptive immunity will combat pathogens or foreign body infections if innate immunity fails to protect against a disease or infection because adaptive immunity also works to eradicate the disease-causing agent.
