Does the immune system ever crush an infection it wasn’t ready for?

Say you got some pathogen inside you, and it’s starting to replicate and your immune system isn’t prepped with the antibodies. Does it ever happen then that infection still gets nowhere because of reasons other than you consciously recognizing that you were exposed and taking some meds early on?
