Suppose that at an HIV/AIDS clinic that treats 1,500 patients, 630 of the patients are also diagnosed with TB (confirmed by x-ray). Even though these patients with HIV/AIDS and TB are started on treatment, 78 die from conditions related to the co-infection. What was the case-fatality rate for patients with co-infection of HIV/AIDS and TB in this population? (give your answer as a percent and round to the nearest whole number)
