Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) has multi-dimensional manifestations, including neutropenia and polyneuropathy. We herein report a 76-year-old woman with pSS initially presenting as severe granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-refractory neutropenia and axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathies (SMP). Systemic glucocorticoid administration had reduced neutrophil-associated immunoglobulin G (NAIgG) on the neutrophil surface as detected using flow cytometry, resulting in the development of neutropenia. A patient with pSS concomitant with axonal SMP might show severe neutropenia as aggressive autoimmune disease. Neutropenia can be treated with systemic glucocorticoids based on the assessment of NAIgG on the neutrophil surface.

Article Synopsis
- Scrub typhus is a disease caused by mites and is common in the Asia Pacific, leading to serious neurological problems like meningoencephalitis and, in rare cases, CVST.
- A unique case involved an 18-year-old pregnant woman in India who, after experiencing symptoms like fever and headaches, was found to have CVST stemming from scrub typhus meningoencephalitis; treatment involved azithromycin and later anticoagulation therapy.
- The report emphasizes the need to consider CVST in pregnant women with severe scrub typhus symptoms even if antibiotics are being used, as early treatment is crucial for better outcomes.

Compared with chemotherapy, endocrine-based therapy has different treatment regimens and is associated with new side effects. Oral therapy aims for optimal drug efficacy and long treatment times while maintaining maximum independence and quality of life resulting in the conservation of medical staff resources.
