A system for diagnosing pathogenic infection of a person, the system comprising a processor configured for: receiving a trigger comprising data indicative of a possible pathogenic infection; determining, using a risk classifier and medical information about the patient, a risk score for the patient comprising a likelihood that one or more body systems is infected; determining, using a likelihood classifier and the medical information, a likelihood score for the patient comprising an identification of one or more pathogens or pathogen categories that could be causing an infection; determining a relevance score using a relevance classifier and the determined risk and likelihood scores, the relevance score comprising one or more clinical tests relevant to confirming or rejecting the possible pathogenic infection of the person; and reporting, via a user interface, the determined relevance score.
