The paper introduces MACD, a Multi-Agent Clinical Diagnosis framework that enables large language models to self‑learn clinical knowledge through a multi‑agent pipeline of summarization, refinement, and application. MACD is extended into a human‑AI collaborative workflow where multiple diagnostician agents consult iteratively, guided by a judge agent and human oversight. Evaluation on the MIMIC‑MACD cohort shows significant gains in diagnostic accuracy—an average 11.6 percentage‑point improvement over authoritative knowledge for open‑weight LLMs and an 18.3‑percentage‑point boost over physician‑only diagnosis in text‑only vignettes.

The paper introduces an ontology‑guided, multi‑agent framework for differential diagnosis that mirrors physicians’ iterative reasoning. By grounding inference in a structured, expert‑curated medical knowledge base, the system produces explicit, auditable reasoning steps, reduces hallucination, and improves transparency. It also identifies key missing symptoms and generates targeted follow‑up questions to lower diagnostic uncertainty.

MedCaseAgent is an end‑to‑end agentic reasoning system that generates publication‑quality rare disease case reports from unstructured clinical notes. It combines patient‑level data mining with iterative, tool‑integrated reasoning, dynamically querying medical literature and knowledge bases to maintain clinical fidelity and assess case novelty. The framework is modular, supports multiple backbone LLMs, and is accompanied by a new multimodal case‑report corpus (MedCase‑150K) and evaluation suite (MedCase‑Bench).
