This paper presents a clinical diagnosis support system which combines the advantages of Dempster-Shafer theory with Bayesian networks in order to simulate the uncertain medical reasoning. We propose a hierarchical structure using Dempster-Shafer at the upper level for evaluating more general hypothesis (disease groups) and Bayesian networks at the lower level for a more accurate analysis of specific diseases.
