Yes: Ebv infections can certainly cause changes in your immune system that may result in autoimmune disease.

Correct assessment: Ebstein-barr virus is associated with infectious mononucleosis, can be associated with the acute immune polyneuritis, guillain-barre syndrome, and appears associated with adult ms in over 99% of all cases. So, clearly, can influence immune disorders both in peripheral and central nervous systems.
