Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (Nod2) pathways are known to interact with Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR4, which are pattern recognition receptors for Candida albicans. We observed that the prevalence of Nod2 polymorphisms was not increased in patients with Candida infections. Candida-induced cytokine production in individuals with Nod2 polymorphisms was unaffected. We conclude that Nod2 is unlikely to play an important role in the recognition of Candida albicans.
