1. The kinetics of intravenously administered prednisone (0.5 mg/kg) and methylprednisolone hemisuccinate (4 mg/kg) were compared in two groups of four young male sheep before and regularly after experimental infestation with 150 metacercariae of Fasciola hepatica and 5 or 7 weeks following a flukicidal treatment administered post-infection at week 25. 2. Parasitic pathology was ascertained by clinical observation and by the increase in plasma antibodies directed against liver flukes. 3. The disposition of prednisone was altered with a significant decrease of plasma clearance occurring from eleven weeks after infection onwards. This change was parallel to an increase in the mean residence time of prednisone and of its major metabolite (prednisolone). 4. The same parasitic burden provoked only a slight decrease in the elimination half-life of methylprednisolone alcohol when its hemisuccinate ester was administered.
