Brief Answer: EBV is not related to any Thyroid disorder Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Epstein Barr virus or EBV causes Infectious Mononucleosis also known as kissing disease. Like other virus , infection may remain dormant. It's not associated with causation of any Thyroid disorder. The feeling of generalised unwell XXXXXXX could be related to Anemia or Hypothyroidism. I would suggest you to get your Complete Hematology work up done along with Thyroid profile. In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
